This pen also has the new and improved satin finish with non-marking surface treatment which helps minimize fingerprint marks and reflection off the pen. The best part is that the new design of this pen allows it to be operated one handed and still fit into virtually any shirt pocket. Simple, functional and elegant all at the same time. There are no identifying marks, no logos and no engravings on this pen.

What makes this 416SS mechanism so special?

Mostly the material choice and time consuming manufacturing process refinements. Virtually all high-end pen mechanisms are made from brass and plated (easier and cheaper to manufacture but not as durable as ours), we decided to go nuts and machine it out of 416 stainless steel (a much harder and more durable material). This meant we had to have it Swiss-CNC'ed which, while more costly, means we can hold much tighter tolerances (less than .0005" all day long on the Citizen L-20). The G-Code programming done by our friend's shop re-traces the race toolpaths to debur all edges, taking more time but it also means that the chrome steel bearing glides smoothly and the mechanism cycles like butter. It's much more expensive and time consuming to make it this way but it really is pretty awesome. Plus, the 416SS and chrome steel will wear better and last much longer than plated brass. It's complete overkill for a pen mechanism but hey... if you're going to make one, might as well go all out, right?

Isn't all of that a lot of work?

Yeah, it really is but we make the best pens we can possibly make, something special that you'll be proud to own and carry with you for years to come. That's why we back them with a lifetime guarantee, because we make them to last a lifetime.

Features

Quite possibly the perfect take anywhere, write everywhere and work always "clicky" pen. Light-weight, amazingly durable with a satin / matte surface treatment and hard anodized to Mil-A-8625 “F” specifications. Best of all, conceived, designed and proudly made in the USA.

I was given a Tuff-Writer as a Christmas gift last year and found it to be the best pen ever. Now I've bought two so can have at home, office and personal carry as I won't want to be without one to use.Also to 'carry the tradition forward' will be using a s gifts too. It's an exceptional instrument of many uses.

This is an excellent product for everyday use. The pen weights enough to make writing a smooth and leisurely process but not so much as to cause finger fatigue.

I called MR. Ramon curious what the warranty was on a precision press pen. He promptly let me know it was a lifetime warranty and his company backs his products regardless and that they are there for the client. I was impressed and ended up buying the pen. The pen is of SUPER high quality and takes various refills. I am confident this pen will not fail me in my line of work. AWESOME GEAR!
